I've Never Had A Job

In the space between
The factories
And the fluorescent halls
I stand before you
You live inside
Great castle walls
And the victorian graft
That only real people know
The agony
Of worklessness
Every job, oh every job
Impossible with my fecklessness
Aristocrats
Just do what they please
Arcane customs monopolise
And kick you right off
Oh I’ve never, oh I’ve never had a job
There is an ontological gulf that separates me
It was the core of my being and horrific irony
By some miracle, you offered
But you and I know, it’s not for me

Little Red Ants

Little red ants, red southern states
Lined up at the flesh, wait for a taste
A hunched wingless fowl, won’t wish me well
Sat on the stall, doesn’t like me at all
Chilled to the bone
Shard-studded columns, enter at all points
Every shift in position, a crunch in my joints
I naïvely assumed, when you’re going mad
You’re never aware, always having a laugh
Chilled to the bone
I’m an Upright Man

From the Page

Hang me out with the laundry
With everything, while nothing’s happening
The curvature, something’s flying
With everything, hanging and drying
A long black bird
Stretched from my feet
It flies in the wind
And it flies out from my feet
Yes that long black bird
Stretching from my feet
Flying in the wind
Flying from my feet
It tells me how it obliterates
From the page and from the tree
The long black bird it hangs and sings
Out from the page and out from the tree
Hang me out with the laundry
Take away my family name
The grandmothers erased from memory
With everything, slowly dying
A long black bird
Singing in the street
It flies in the wind
And it flies out from my feet
Yes that long black bird
Singing in the street
Flying in the wind
Flying from my feet
It tells me how it obliterates
From the page and from the tree
The long black bird it hangs and sings
Out from the page and out from the tree

Without You

I know you
get nervous every time we’re in the same room
kiss away our problems in the coat room.
Waste time in back of line.
Pills kick in just in time.
The background
singing with our shadows in the come down
crave the high of nights is was just you and I.
Flew ‘til we touched the sky.
Download you on my line.
Took too long to realize that we
were never meant to feel so damn free
without you I don’t recognize me.
And I know you’re in love with him
confessing all my secrets and sins.
This is where the heartbreak begins.
Make love
alone in your cologne you left at my place.
Tried withdrawal but I can’t seem to escape.
The way you rule my days. (Always a king in my eyes)
Your drugs left me in a haze. (Tried to let go but I can’t help it)
Took too long to realize that we
were never meant to feel so damn free
without you I don’t recognize me.
And I know you’re in love with him
confessing all my secrets and sins.
This is where the heartbreak begins.
Trying not to live my life without you.
Trying not to live my life without you.
Never thought to think our dreams won’t come true.
Trying not to live my life without you.
Never wanna meet your other lovers.
Take it all back, memorize each other.
Never wanna meet your other lovers.
Never wanna meet your other lovers.
